Champs Warm-ups

Saturday:

• 8:45-9:00 a.m.

Sunday:

• 8:15-8:25 a.m.

It is important that you arrive on time so that your swimmer can warm-up.  For Saturday, there will be NO warm-up and cool-down lanes, therefore swimmers will have very precious time in the water.  For Sunday, warm-ups are only ten minutes, and so arriving on time ensures that the team can get in an effective warm-up.

Monday:  

• Morning Champs Practice 9:30-10:30 a.m.
• Afternoon Champs Practice 5:00-6:00 p.m. & 6:00-7:00 p.m.

Tuesday:

• Kings Dominion Trip- Meet at @TVW at 10:00 a.m.
• Any swimmer planning to ride with a coach will need to confirm with Coach Philip in advance.  All 10 & Unders should have rides with other parents who will be their driver/chaperone for the day.
• Please purchase tickets in advance.
• Lunch will be in the park or at your car, depending on your group.  The coaches will have meeting spots and times for lunch for those interested in "Lunch with a Coach".
• NO MORNING CHAMPS PRACTICE!
• Afternoon Champs Practice- Coach Philip is leaving Kings Dominion at 5:30 p.m. and will coach practice for an hour for any interested swimmers.  Please confirm in advance!

End of Season Banquet RSVPs

Please check your email and respond to the End of Season Banquet ASAP.  Allison Unowitz is trying to plan for numbers and will be ordering food Sunday.  She needs your RSVPs so we can ensure that everyone has enough to eat.  Thanks!

Congratulations Tigersharks!

Last night was an incredible showing of how tough you all are.  You continued to drop even more time and that shows how much you all want to be the best!

The final score for the meet was 960.5 (TVW) to 820.50 (Wembly).  That is an AWESOME 120 point victory for us!  

Finishing the season with a 4-2 record is great!  Jon, Alayna, and Philip are so proud of your hard work in the pool.  

Champs qualifiers practices start this afternoon at 5:00 p.m.  Mites and Midgets at 5:00 p.m.; Juniors, Intermediates, & Seniors at 6:00 p.m.  See you all at the pool!

For the rest of you, enjoy some well earned time off.  We will post more details in the coming days about Kings Dominion and the End-of-Season Banquet.

Tigersharks Time Drops (2012)

Just FYI...

As a team, we have dropped 660.27 seconds of time from Week 1 to Week 5... that is SUPER impressive!  That is 11 minutes!  

Think about that... that is 1/6 of an hour...

Let this be your inspiration to swim EVEN FASTER for the last meet!  Many of you are on the very edge of a Champs qualifying time (at least JV or faster).  Many still are very fast novice times who could easily skip over the Advanced division and straight into a JV time!

Swim fast Tigersharks!

Congratulations

Congratulations Tigersharks!  You all swam so well on Tuesday night, and the results prove it.  Winning the meet with only a forty point margin...that's impressive.  Keep up the hard work!


The results of your hard work are showing.  We have an impressive number of Champs qualifiers, and an even greater number of swimmers on the cusp of a JV time.  Our team even boasts 77 of the league Top 50 Times.  


Our records from last year show the great work you all have been doing.  We are already past our record from this point last year (a 3-1 record this year and a 1-3 record last year).  


My promise still stands.  Win our division at Champs, we will shave my head!  Good luck!


Continue working hard, showing our team spirit, and demonstrating good sportsmanship!
